MySQL dump file

Firebird to MySQL converter allows users to migrate Firebird database into MySQL format even when there is no connection to MySQL server available. Following this way, the program converts Firebird data into a local MySQL dump file instead of migrating it to MySQL server directly. The resulting file contains MySQL statements to create all tables and to fill them with the data. Click here to learn how to import dump file into MySQL database.

Just launch Windows Explorer and double-click on the profile description (.f2s) file with left mouse button.

Then you will be taken right to the screen with progress of conversion without entering all conversion settings.
